My name is Adewale Bankole. I'm a Nigerian. I was born at a border town of Nigeria and Benin Republic. In every typical border town, you have a family on each side of the border. Just four blocks away, I have my family at Benin Republic. But there is this artificial border, created by government. Armed forces guard the border day and night. So I cannot visit my family on the other side of the border. That is why I'm working for freedom. With freedom, I believe people should be able to move around and exchange knowledge. That is why I'm working to break down this barrier. That is why I'm working to break down these walls. That is why I'm a libertarian: because I should be able to see my family.
